What have FRAMES ever done for us?
One of the most significant parts of every motorcycle is its frame. It’s all too easy to fundamentally underestimate a frame as ‘just’ a platform to which every other part is directly or indirectly connected. They warrant much more consideration and recognition than that, simply because of their complexity, the forces placed on them, and the fundamental influence they have over a motorcycle’s performance. Design of frames has changed hugely over the years, and even today there’s a wide variety of different types on the market. Manufacturers have many compromising considerations to make when building a suitable frame for a bike.
